Back Pain
Back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints and a leading cause of disability worldwide. It can affect everything from work and exercise to sleep and everyday activities.
Back pain may begin suddenly or develop gradually and can involve the lower, middle, or upper back. It can be associated with muscle or joint irritation, restricted movement, physical activity, repetitive stress, injury, or changes involving the structures of the spine.
Common Symptoms
- Aching or soreness
- Sharp or localized pain
- Muscle tightness or spasms
- Stiffness or restricted movement
- Discomfort with sitting, standing, bending, or lifting
- Pain that changes with movement or activity
If back pain is limiting your work, activities, or everyday movement, schedule an evaluation at Smithfield Chiropractic to determine what may be contributing to your symptoms and what treatment options may be appropriate.
